Lori has performed in and helped create over 50 improvised productions and was a Hobbit, Mrs. Bracegirdle, in The Lord of the Rings. She's also a voice artist for the TV show, Power Rangers, which entails lots of shrieking and running from monsters.

She just finished a month long run of "The Dinner", an improvised show at "Circa Theatre" in Wellington where the audience supplied each actor with character and story information and throughout the show they ate a real meal.
